I fail to see why this proposed TLD is an encyclopaedic thing.Nothing in RS other than trivial name-mentions/listings.Our purpose differs from their purpose.A redirect may be warranted. Winged BladesGodric 05:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm..Good idea but that article is too poorly written and IMO, could itself be succinctly merged into TLD itself:)Winged BladesGodric 11:12, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Winged Blades of Godric You're right, I didn't say it is in good shape and merger process is already for merging the mergeable and redacting the the rest. I must say you could have boldly done this (merge/redirect) without AfD, since you didn't confidently believe it should be deleted right from the beginning.

@Ammarpad:--AFDs are very helpful, in case you have doubts whether the post-merge redirect will stay.I'm near certain that the creator is an UPE.Notice the creations of 4 redirects to a part. company, out of wjhich one has been developed into a full-blown article by an IP, thus evading ACTRIAL while supposedly evading extra-scrutiny on the user-account.Winged BladesGodric 11:47, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, @WBG:, I don't how I didn't get this ping, so just seeing it now after relist. Yes, you're right, I actually know that problem and I even recently !voted to oppose redirect (favoring redirect creation with one revision, if necessary and requesting its protection). But I usually do that for pages with no chance of gaining notability on their own right in the offing. That lead us to the slight difference with this, since it is verifiable proposed tech term which once adopted will possibly receive significant coverage to merit standalone page. I agree with your UPE concern also, and like to say watching redirects pages often deal with that. I have many redirects on my Watchlist and reverted such actions on many occasions –Ammarpad (talk) 08:42, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While both comments made after the nom suggest merging, it would be good to come to a consensus about the merge target.
